Shock Perth thunderstorms
February 26 2022:
Perth saw some shock elevated thunderstorms last night ahead of an upper level trough despite 0% of ECMWF ensemble members predicting rain and and the BOM also having had a 0% chance of rain and none of the 00Z runs of the ECMWF, GFS, ACCESS, ICON and GEM models having predicted rain.
Elevated thunderstorms are often very difficult to predict.
